4 Tips for New Drone Pilots - Less Stress, More Fun!

[@ronaldwilson9525]

This is EXACTLY what I’ve been going though this week. I got my first drone the DJI Mini 2 three days ago and I’m slowly getting less scared of it by flying daily. Thanks for this.

[@blaiseduff]

Ronald, I have flown for a few years and the most secure feeling is with the Mavic Mini 2. I have just gotten the Mini 3 Pro and letting the Mini 2 go with much afterthought. Very cool drone.

[@KNETWORK100]

3 day as of today myself. Mini 2 as well

[@thedisneysquad178]

I’m going to get the mini 3 pro in a month!

[@ronaldwilson9525]

Update: I have had so much fun with my Mini 2 this summer that I decided to get myself an early Christmas present and I ordered a DJI Air 2S. I’ll let you know how it goes when I receive it.

[@ZetaRosen]

New to drones and a channel like this is fantastic! I really enjoy your delivery of the information and it helps to see I'm not alone in my initial nervousness to fly lol. Bought a DJI Mini 3 about a week ago and still practicing joystick moves to get smooth control of the drone.

[@jo2k459]

Great tips; thanks Russ! Another tip for more control when landing is switching the fly mode to cinema on the last few feet. This allows for smaller and smoother moves to get it to land on the pad in case it's a bit off.

[@joebrown8032]

I heard the word “contrast” 11 times in the instructions and 2 more times when you were telling us about the give away. I’m located in Fort worth, TX. I have an Ecoflow plus Booster and the solar panels. They are great and they got me through several power problems during power outages from weather problems. Once again, Ecoflow is the bomb. Love your videos!

[@rileythornton8266]

Powerstation is a handy way when flying drones and Ecoflow is a very good brand in my experience.

[@goktur]

As everyone knows, practice is very important for drone shooting. What can be recommended here furthere is while staying indoor you can get a drone simulator called SimuDrone. You can use your own DJI remote controller for practice. Thanks any way.

[@nonyabusiness1126]

My phone battery died very quickly for whatever reason and my mini 2 flew off! I kept my cool, ran inside to try charging to reconnect. Went back outside hoping return to home would work. The DJI controller began beeping and I heard the drone returning overhead. What a relief!

[@briand1337]

When I was a beginner, the landing pad was a great tool to practice manual returns and landings. One you get comfortable with that, hand launching and landing is much easier to do.

[@bret1tmcleod]

Such a great topic/observation. I have been through this twice. First time as a newbie and a second time after I hadn’t used my drone for over a year. Now I am working up the nerve to launch and land my drone on my moving sail boat. I have almost lost my drone twice trying to launch, unsuccessfully, from my boat

[@keithstewart7514]

Hand launch & hand land is better

[@drfaizan]

Hi I'm a Pakistani immigrant American and one of your subscribers. I subscribed when I first started to learn about drones, may be a yr and half ago. I have learnt a lot through your passion for drones and thankyou for it. I have my own monetized channel, of course not anywhere yet, but it's just for my passion. I'm writing to you while watching this video as I can totally relate to all that you just said. I have been flying my Mavic air for little over a year now but since I don't get any practice being a resident of the NYC

[@fearlessleader1436]

Good tip. It’s also good to let the drone hover in place for a while to check its stability. I always do this.

[@m118lr]

…excellent point. Was thinking about that myself but I’d already posted..

[@fearlessleader1436]

@@m118lr I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for making them.

[@pauledwards1157]

Follow modes on DJI drones. Always good to have a reminder on how those work.

[@MarcWhirl]

Great tips. I just bought a DJI AIR 3. I also just passed the FAA Part 107 and looking to make this a career.

[@zaraspook1367]

Congrats on your new drone and passing the 107. I just ordered an Air 3s and just starting to study for my 107. Did you find a 107 resource for studying that you really liked?

[@nassaubayroofing]

Congrats. I just bought the air 3. How are you liking it?

[@golfnjoe]

I heard you say “contrast “ 13 times. I’m from Alabama and have been watching your videos for years and enjoyed watching this one twice to do a little counting. Thanks for the time you put in making great content.

[@stemo342]

Thanks! This is good! Even if just a refresher but new pilots I wish I would have watched a video like this before I started flying

[@boballen2932]

Hi, great tips. I am based in the UK. I can totally associate with some of these nervous issues and really do go out and try to practice some of the tips and tricks, but most of all trying to relax whilst flying. You mention 'contrast' 13 times. I use a RAVPower unit plug in when I go out on my motorcycle but when in the car I have the plug in convertor to charge the Air 2s batteries. Keep the vids coming, always enjoy watching.

[@vaughanstewart1237]

Hi Bob,I've not had the chance to fly my dji3pro as the weather in Scotland is bad and scary lol,is it safe to change my drone with my fast phone charger and my car cigarette charger ? Thanks.

[@petertualowa7804]

Thanks for this amazing video. I totally have no clue in flying drones. I'm from Papua New Guinea . I watched videos of Drone Flying to get more familiarize myself before purchasing one for myself. By going through drone flying tips on KZbin, I came across your videos. According to this video ,"Contrast" was used 13 times as I watch through to the end. I really appreciate your help. Thank you once again.

[@juniorwear439]

Thanking you Russ for the tutorial. Am seriously thinking to get a similar to yours or the same and the word "Contrast ", you used 13 times.

[@codykane7742]

I’ve been flying drones for a little over two years and didn’t really consider myself a beginner but did learn a couple of awesome tips from this video. Great job Russ and thanks for the help. I think I heard it 13 times including the two during your discussion of how to win.

[@TheunknownMan]

Thanks, Russ for all these awesome videos, I'm a 100% beginner, I have never flew a drone before and I'm currently researching everything I should know before I pick up my first drone ever, the new DJI Mini 3 Pro. I wanted to start with this hobby a long time ago but was still uncomfortable regarding safety and losing the drone. With the Mini 3 Pro, I have the feeling it is the perfect compromise between price, features, and safety. So if you want to help beginners like me, everything which helps us to gain confidence to not lose the drone, for example, best ways to avoid obstacles, how to react when losing connection, how to respond in unforeseen situations like sudden strong winds, rain or whatever else can happen. Also maybe a guide for the first settings in the DJI software. And I also counted 13 times "contrast" and I'm actually from Germany, so not sure if I even can take part in this raffle. Wish me luck for my first big challenge with my drone, I'm flying to Madeira island beginning of June where most of the Mini 3 Pro release trailer was filmed and I hope I can also film some of the same or similar scenes. Would be an awesome start for this lovely hobby. BIG THANKS!

[@mwales2112]

I'm very new to drones and always stressed while out flying, but it's becoming for comfortable as I fly more... Thanks Russ...

[@keithstewart7514]

The best part of a land pad is also accomplished by using my drone case for take off without grass or sand being involved with flight. I do hand landings from my Mini3 pro from the tail (grasping) battery section thus avoiding bottom sensors.

[@chadhawkins7569]

I have ordered my first drone and it should arrive today. I’m starting with the Holy Stone 175D due to price and features. I really like the DJI Drones but felt the need to start at a lower price point to learn and be sure it’s a hobby I will enjoy. I really like your videos. Everyone of your suggestions are very practical and super helpful. Also, I have not heard anyone else share these tips. On a side note, your EcoFlow videos were also super helpful and I now own 2 EcoFlow chargers!! We live on the Gulf Coast of Texas and have power issues with hurricanes and when we’re hit with super cold weather. Thanks so much for what you do!!

[@jamiewayne2204]

Awesome video for someone like me that just purchased a new first drone. I heard "Contrast" 13 times. I live in New Bern, NC.

[@mslashay35]

Took my first flight tonight just in the parking lot up above my apartments, a little forward and backwards. I was nervous out but i grinning like a kid. DJIMINI4K

[@Youno954]

9 times. From Detroit, Michigan. I’ve been flying drone for a year and half and I didn’t know about the batteries storing charge. Thank you for the information!

[@charleskrumholt8541]

Thanks. I just bought the DJI mini 3 pro and a UranHub GPS Drone. My phantom 3 standard is getting old.

[@beaubarnaby2338]

Thanks, Russ, for another great video full of information for beginners. It was very helpful! I heard the word "contrast" 13 times. I'm having a great time flying my DGI Air 2s and watching your videos of tips and tricks has helped me tremendously. I always enjoy watching your KZbin videos. I live in Evansville, IN and am looking forward to flying my Air 2s over the Ohio River this summer on our boat.

[@bumperxx1]

dude did you get my comment about new laws and regulations about drones ????????????????

[@Manihsi]

@@bumperxx1 no , tell us

[@kennethhope7458]

Hi Russ ty for the help here. As winter is ending, yes, I went hiking up to a summit where there were straight cliffs 500 feet down. I was so nervous about sending my drone off the cliff that I forgot to record! I did fly manually back because of severe winds and the trees close to the cliff edge. Will practice more n strive to have fun.. Ken Catskills Ny

[@DanCooksey]

Russ, I live in Corrales, New Mexico and I’m also saying 13 times for the contrast comment. Even though I have a year and a half of experience, I alway enjoy basic training because I always learn something helpful. Vince Lombardi used to tell the Packers at the first training session in the Spring, “Gentlemen, this is a football.” He believed and I concur, the basics are important. Keep up the good work.

[@Michael64633]

I heard the word Contrast, 13 times..and I live in Norborne, Mo. I really enjoy your videos and look forward to them...Safe flying!

[@MORTONRICK]

The landing pad also is a really helpful take-off pad when you're in a location that isn't the best for take-off. Like lots of weeds, rocks, dirt, etc.

[@MatthewBrown-fq3bg]

Thanks!

[@robertbatton9136]

Hi, I am a new flyer, I am from North Carolina, I was glad I run across your video. Learned a lot. As to your contest I heard you say the word "contrast" on this video (4 Tips for new Drone Pilots) 12 times. Thanks for the great information. Looking forward to watching more from you. Robert

[@BRP42]

Some great information Russ. Thanks for keeping us all informed and educated! My guess is that you said contrast 39 times. But maybe I overestimated that by 3... :). I'm in Baltimore, MD.

[@kenholt6922]

Thanks for the great tips . Had my mini 2 for 2 years now and get more confident every day . Never say you can’t learn some new every day . Ken from Sydney au

[@johnw9831]

I use the high contrast blue mat and I do have a newer drone but it lands exactly where I took off pretty much every time. I like the pads because they keep dust off my lens. Also the new additions to the fly app are very sweet for RTH, and just situational awareness in general. It’s made me much more confident. Love the video though, I still get pretty anxious but it’s helped and mostly I am flying more than ever

[@jeremybodner13]

Hey Russ, Happy Easter to you and yours! My name is Jeremy Bodner and I am a new 107 pilot from Lexington Kentucky. This is the first season of the first year for the rest of my life! I am so excited!!! What a beautiful future life has presented! In this video you used the word "contrast" 13 times. Your work at 51 DRONES is inspiring and truly has help guide me into and through some tremendous learning curves. Thanks buddy, Jeremy Bodner

[@jerbear197]

Hi. Jerry from Derry. Northern Ireland. DJI Air2s. Thank you for the tips. Just bought my first Drone about a month ago so still learning. CONTRAST. 11 tines in the video and twice when announcing the competition. 13 in total.

Just ordered my first drone and found your channel right after! I heard the word contrast 13 time in the video from South Glens Falls, NY.

13 times Russ Haven’t flown much since the KNP Complex fire last fall. Too much air traffic. Plus we’re spitting distance from Sequoia National Park. 132 square Miles Scorched. Came within a half mile of our home. Cheers

[@idmnstr]

Russ, Thank you for the video. As a noob these type of short videos are very helpful. I heard contrast 13 times and live in Pelham, NH USA.

[@bradalms-radpapabear7016]

I heard the contrast 13 times during the entire video and i currently live in Parachute Colorado. I've just started watching your channel and plan to refer back often. I just stated flying drones with a cheap beginner drone and plan to move up to a more professional drone. I have been flying scale RC aircraft for many years, actually I started flying RC aircraft around 1996 so longer then a few years I suppose however, I'm really excited to learn more about drone flight and i even have plans to get my FAA part 107 certificate/ license. Right now my issues are regarding pretty much all of the topics you covered here, stressfullness, nervousness about not destroying my aircraft is what I'm stuck on and your video helps a lot to get thru these starting moments. Thank you.

[@danjiles]

On this note, you should make sure the altitude is set correctly for the return to home. No sensors on the mini so running into an obstacle could be an issue when you hit the RTH button. "CONTRAST" 13 TIMES? (Myrtle Beach, SC.)

[@bobdemassi3945]

Thanks Russ, herd Contrast 13 times & I’m from NJ. Great stuff keep it coming. Stay safe & Stay in the air!

[@zaccariasippidabarbercollins]

Just got here since I just ordered my DJI Air 3 so I’m watching all drone tip videos and from yours I got the portable charger idea. I’ve watched the videos on battery care so I’m informed and I also got the RTH verification location. Awesome Video

[@Herbie11]

Russ, your channel was literally the very first KZbin video I watched after I got my Mavic Pro years ago. I don't think you even had 4,000 subs back then. Your success is well deserved. Thank you. Think I heard contrast 13 times bty.

[@51Drones]

Thanks for sticking around!

[@Sozialkompetenz]

Great advice. As a new pilot I couldn’t agree more, I will definitely be landing the drone manually. More control is better than relying on the drone doing whatever it wants to do.

not a pilot, drone operator. A pilot flys a real plane.

[@johndownen3237]

Russ, the takeoff and landing tips are spot on. I live in Florida and the best thing to have is a landing mat when hand landing is not an option because of all the sand that you can kick up. Great tips as always and you said contrast 13 times…

[@mikethompson3710]

Hey Russ! I counted 13 times you said "contrast." I watch you from our home in N.E. Florida - near St. Augustine. There are some great tips in this video. For instance I was certainly unaware of the hover at 7 meters procedure. I've had my Mini 2 about a year and feel like you have been my "flight instructor" from the start. I do appreciate all your videos. Thanks!

[@mohammedawad6806]

..i have DHI air 2..Phantom .. Spark ... now i like the Mavic 3 a lot, may be purchase it to..you do a lot DJI videos, very good videos, thats why i like to watch and learn

[@Frank-uf2vn]

I will have a DJI mini 2 SE in about a week and have been looking at all kinds of videos to prepare myself and this is a great video for that. I have my Trust cert. & joined a CBO. One thing you mentioned in the video was putting a strobe light on the drone to see it better, I just wanted to let anyone with a sub 250g drone as I will have that if you put anything (such as a strobe) it will put you over the 250g and you will then have to register and have RID on it. Thanks for the review.

[@banzaibob6569]

Russ, great video as usual. I use a landing pad no matter where I'm at and the main reason is the dirt, dust and other debris caused by prop wash if you land on dirt. Just don't want my prop electronics full of that crap. Thx!

[@vernhanna4399]

I know this is an older video but thank you for making it. I just ordered my first drone (potensic atom 3 axes gimbal) can’t wait to learn how to use it.

You said Contrast 13 times, I'm from Farmington NM. I just got my Mavic Air 2 about a month ago and love it, It's amazing and I'm having so much fun with it, Can't fly it much right now due to I live in a high wind area. Can't wait until July 4th so I can get some wonderful Pic's & Video's of the fireworks. Great video as always.

[@everettredding7167]

Hey Russ, I am a total beginner in this drone world. The number of times the word (contrast) you mentioned was “13”. I am a subscriber of your site and have watched numerous videos you have provided. I have gone back to the beginning of this video several times. Not just to enter the contest, but to also absorb the information you have given. My Wife purchased me a DJI Air 2 Drone for Christmas, and I have not flown it yet. Sometimes life throws you a curve and takes a bit to straighten it out. Anyway, I am ready to get it in the air and am more confident now with watching your videos. Thank you for your step by step videos. Much appreciated.

Thanks again for another informative video. I am from Los Angeles. You said "contrast " 13 times in this video. As you recommend I have got my FAA Rpic license yesterday. I have the Air 2s combo with all the accessories you have mentioned before. I also have my hi-vis vest and a safety helmet. All I need is a job and this ecoflow powerstation. I would actually be interested to see how effective is the strobe in daylight. Keep the good work and I can't wait to see what videos are coming this season.

Great info Russ I did not realize the Contrast. It does make a difference, I had to test it.. I'll remember Contrast after hearing it 13 times, here in Charlotte NC

[@fredmunson8952]

Russ you are so right. I have learned that it is always best to hover about 20 feet above the landing zone for around 30 seconds before going off to fly. This is more true for both my DJI Mini 2 and DJI Mavic Air 2. The Mavic Air 2 will land right on every time. I carry extra SD cards in my fly bags.

[@johnmohrman713]

Hi Russ that was very informative for a new drone pilot. I really appreciate it and i will come back to it when I purchase my mini 4 pro. I can't wait to get it this Saturday and will follow your instructions. Keep up the good work Russ and thank you!😊

CONTRAST, 2times Russ. I wasnt paying attention. Las Cruces, New Mexico here. I practice landing and maneuvering in the back yard when I had a bad week and couldn't get out. Its a good time to experiment with settings also. I fly in rough terrain mostly so I use a landing pad or land in my hand.

[@nightwaves3203]

The landing pad is a good level, clean and obstruction free spot. I'll always go through menus after turning on so the drone isn't picking up hitchhiking bugs. When it comes to gusty conditions the pad at least can be a safety feature in case a gust gets to it when setting down.

Excellent Video and Excellent Information Russ. I Heard The Word Contrast 13 Times. I Live In Fountain Hills, Arizona. Thank You.

[@avianorobc8847]

First off Russ great video, I have been flying drones for a very long time I have a little over 900 hours combined flight time with many different drones. I fly recreationally, commercially, and as a first responder (fire department) I never thought of the contrast /shadow cast by many different things when taking off, what a great tip. I now have to rewrite my training program for the Syosset fire Department to include that little nugget of information. I believe you said contrast 13 times.

[@steve.trauba]

13 times you said "contrast" - from the Salt Lake City area. Thanks Russ for your efforts in the videos you produce. I passed my part 107 test a couple of weeks ago and am really looking forward to getting out there and doing some more flying!
